Grant Richards-Jones, 27, jewelry designer What brings you out tonight? I've worked with [the owners] in bars on and off for the past couple years and have been meaning to see the new place they bought and re-did. It's much more impressive than I'd anticipated! What are you drinking and why? Grandma's Iced Tea made with sweet tea vodka because the bartender, Wally, recommended it. I like to get a bartender's recommendation in a place that takes pride [in] their cocktail menu. What did you do for Memorial Day? I think I just laid around and worked. I used Sunday as an excuse to go nuts and not have to deal with being anywhere on Monday. What are your three desert island albums? "Tomorrow's Harvest" by Boards of Canada, "Rhythm Nation 1814" by Janet Jackson and "Plastic Beach" by Gorillaz.
